Recently, people were talking about the risk of using Polycarbonate (PC) material for water bottles. Previously, people were shocked by the news that Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles such as mineral water bottles should not be used because it is a risk to our health.
I believe after the news regarding the PET bottles spread out, every each of us start to buy PC bottles. So, what is actually happening here?

Have you ever have problems sharing big file with your friends or with the whole world? Sending through email? Upload to the hosting sites? We are talking about file size more than 10 MB here.
Most email accounts either free or paid will only handle up to 10 MB per email. I’ve experience sent email slightly over 10 MB using gmail. But that’s the limit. You don’t talk about sending email 30 MB or 50 MB. After surveying few sites, I found out that YouSendIt will help you to send up to 100 MB of file to the recipient. It helped me a lot and it might help you too.
Regarding the online storage, there are quite numbers of online storage sites out there that are current providing this service. However, after a short survey, I would like to recommend you to use 4shared. I’ve used 4shared to host my large files to be shared as download link in my website. This site give you free 5 GB of storage with the limitation of 100 MB per file. Trust me, if you want to find a free file hosting site, this is among the best.

Anybody has watched Heroes Volume 3: Villains? It has ended after a total of 13 episodes on December 15, 2008. This time I would say the storyline twisted here and there until at one point you gonna feel really confuse of what happening. Overall, I would say, I still enjoyed watching it and for those who can’t sustain the temptation will not be able to sleep until you watch the next episode.
I will try to avoid spoilers as much as I can in this short review. However, if you really don’t want to know any details without watching it first, please do not continue reading. I have a copy of this season (if you know what I mean) … [Read More…]
